Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2074: The Whereabouts of the Ancestor Dragon Tree

Teng Si waved his hand with a faint smile and replied, "You represent the future glory of our World Academy. Aiding you is ultimately helping ourselves, so there is no need for such gratitude."

He then handed over the entire collection of six hundred portions of Five Elements Sacred Soil to Yang Xiaotian.

Accepting the gift, Yang Xiaotian expressed his thanks to Teng Si once again.

Teng Si paused thoughtfully and asked, "I have heard rumors circulating that you possess several thousand Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills?"

Yang Xiaotian looked momentarily stunned before shaking his head.

Just as Teng Si began to assume that Yang Xiaotian lacked such a vast quantity, the youth added, "I currently have more than ten thousand."

The teacup in Teng Si’s grip nearly slipped to the floor; his eyes stretched wide with pure disbelief and shock. "What did you just say? O-over ten thousand! Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills? And every single one of them is Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade?!"

Struggling to process the information, he repeatedly questioned if they truly reached that legendary grade.

Yang Xiaotian gave a firm nod, produced a Space Ring, and unsealed it.

Immediately, an overwhelming aura of elixirs surged out like a crashing tidal wave.

The interior was packed with Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills.

Their quality was identical to the pill previously bestowed by the Great Emperor.

The count exceeded twelve thousand in total.

This was the remaining stock after Yang Xiaotian had already traded away several thousand; otherwise, the number would have been even more staggering!

Previously, Yang Xiaotian had crafted over ten thousand Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills. In the past few days, he had refined yet another batch specifically to trade for the Five Elements Sacred Soil.

Teng Si stood frozen in genuine shock as he peered at the twelve thousand or so Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills piled before him.

Despite overseeing all the elixirs in the World Academy’s Medicine Hall and being ranked among the top ten pharmacists in the Holy Realm, this was his very first time witnessing such a massive concentration of Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Pills.

An hour later, Teng Si departed from Yang Xiaotian’s Cave Mansion, his spirit unable to find peace.

The vision of those twelve thousand Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills was etched into his mind, impossible to ignore.

He refrained from asking how Yang Xiaotian had sourced these Saint Venerable Pills; after all, when dealing with ten thousand pills of such caliber, it was a sensitive matter to probe.

Consequently, as he left Yang Xiaotian’s Cave Mansion, his thoughts were consumed by various theories.

As soon as Teng Si was gone, Yang Xiaotian returned to his secluded Cultivation, beginning the process of refining and merging the newly obtained seventeen hundred portions of Five Elements Sacred Soil and Xuanhuang Holy Water.

While Yang Xiaotian was buried in his training, the Master and the Son of the Holy Realm also discovered the task Yang Xiaotian had posted at the World Commerce to acquire Five Elements Sacred Soil.

"Does Yang Xiaotian truly possess that many Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills?" The Master of the Holy Realm asked, filled with skepticism.

Could Bai Yan have provided them?

However, even someone of Bai Yan's stature could not possibly hold such a vast hoard of Thirteen Tribulation Heavenly Grade Saint Venerable Pills.

"Even if Yang Xiaotian gathers enough Five Elements Sacred Soil, developing a Thirteen Level Holy Land would still take at least one to two millennia," the Son of the Holy Realm remarked. "As for reaching the Fourteenth Level, that should require five or six thousand years."

"Furthermore, whether he can actually condense the Fourteenth Level after those thousands of years remains a total uncertainty."

The Master of the Holy Realm nodded in agreement before inquiring, "How is your progress with the Fiery Sun Holy Body Cultivation?"

The fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body being refined by the Son of the Holy Realm was indeed the Fiery Sun Holy Body.

The Fiery Sun Holy Body was a fire-attributed Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body, though in terms of raw power, it remained secondary to the Sun Holy Body.

After all, the Sun Holy Body stood as the undisputed strongest Holy Body of the fire element.

"This disciple has achieved notable progress," the Son of the Holy Realm answered with pride. "Given a few more years, I will certainly master the Fiery Sun Holy Body!"

He then added, "Once my Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body is complete, I shall challenge Yang Xiaotian once more!"

At that time, he intended to crush Yang Xiaotian ruthlessly to wipe away his previous shame.

"You must focus on your Holy Body, but do not forget to study the Creation Scripture with absolute focus," the Master of the Holy Realm instructed solemnly.

"Yes, Master, I will keep your words in mind," the Son of the Holy Realm replied instantly.

"In a few days, I intend to travel to the Ancestor Dragon Realm," the Master of the Holy Realm noted. "It is highly probable that the Ancestor Dragon Tree is located there."

...

The years rolled by.

Yang Xiaotian sat in a meditative posture within the Grand Array of his private Cave Mansion, enveloped by the surging elemental forces of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. As these energies radiated outward, they seemed to stretch toward infinity.

Through years of dedicated effort, he had successfully refined and integrated more than seventeen hundred pieces of Five Elements Sacred Soil.

By now, the elemental density surrounding him was sufficient to establish a Fourteenth Level Holy Land.

The next phase involved mastering these five elemental forces to actually condense the Holy Land.

This particular stage was vital.

Forging these elemental powers into a Holy Land necessitated immense Divine Soul Power and a steadfast Dao Heart.

The superior the grade of the Holy Land being formed, the greater the demand on one's Divine Soul Power and Dao Heart.

During his seclusion, Yang Xiaotian had bolstered his Divine Soul Power significantly by using Xuanhuang Holy Water and Holy Realm Origin Liquid. With his current soul strength, forming a Fourteenth Level Holy Land was well within his reach.

His Dao Heart was similarly beyond reproach.

Without delay, Yang Xiaotian channeled his Divine Soul Power and Dao Heart to manipulate the five elemental forces, steadily pressing them together.

As these energies merged, they underwent a transformation, manifesting into a Holy Land. The more the forces were compressed, the further the Holy Land expanded.

While many prodigies might only expand their Holy Land by ten li in an hour using these elements, Yang Xiaotian achieved that in a single breath.

Before long, his Holy Land had grown as vast as the borders of a great empire!

This was the size of the Son of the Holy Realm’s Thirteen Level Holy Land when it was first formed.

By the time a full day had passed, Yang Xiaotian had completely unified his elemental powers. The Holy Land surrounding him was immense, far exceeding the size of ten empires combined!

The moment the Fourteenth Level Holy Land was successfully condensed, countless bursts of top-grade Holy Spirit Aura surged from its core, flooding every corner of the domain.

However, while the top-grade Holy Spirit Aura had manifested, it would still take time to cultivate the top-grade Dao Holy Veins.

Seated upon his Fourteenth Level Holy Land, Yang Xiaotian practiced the Dark Demon God Technique and Three-Life Buddha’s Dharma. He discovered that within this Fourteenth Level Holy Land, the Cultivation speed for both techniques had accelerated tremendously.

The same held true for his progress with the Reversing Holy Body and All Things Holy Body.

As time marched on, the top-grade Holy Spirit Aura within his Holy Land finally began to birth thread after thread of top-grade Dao Holy Veins.

Since the Holy Land was in its infancy, the initial aura was only enough to produce one hundred top-grade Dao Holy Veins. Once these were harvested, more would regenerate over time.

Previously, Teng Si, the Ancestor of the Medicine Hall, had posted a mission asking for one hundred top-grade Dao Holy Veins.

Yang Xiaotian brought the hundred top-grade Dao Holy Veins to the Mission Hall.

Elder Guo Yi was visibly shocked when Yang Xiaotian presented the veins. In his amazement, he quickly sent word of this incredible development to Ancestor Teng Si.

Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian had fulfilled his request, Teng Si raced to the Mission Hall with the utmost speed.
